Short Story Reads for Valentine's Day #SweetRomance #Anthologies #HappilyEverAfter #HappyForNow #RomanceReads

 

I read romance no matter what time of year, but I've always been fond of reading sweet romance stories for Valentine's Day. In these two collections, you'll find the sweetest of romances, including two of my stories.

In A Kiss and a Promise, you'll find Eve's Garden, a sweet romance involving an author who finds a ghost haunting the historic cottage where he moves to write his new book.

Cupid's Arrow, in A Wink and a Smile, is about a bridesmaid who finds more than she bargained for at a wedding where she meets an enigmatic man who takes her on an adventure to save the love of her friends.

These books are filled with heart-warming tales of happily-ever-afters and happy-for-nows.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The six romances included in this anthology have quirky characters, or quirky locations, or quirky situations.

You'll find a ghost and a new homeowner, a spaceship captain and her cartographer, a window designer and high school beau, a banker and a baker, two vampire hunters, and some supernatural beings.

You'll find yourself in two different restaurants, and on another planet. You'll find deception, intrigue, and old memories.

You'll find Happily-Ever-Afters, and you'll find Happy-for-Nows. But most of all, you'll find true romance.

You'll find kisses, and you'll find promises.

In this Read on the Run title, we present eighteen romances. Not love stories, although some of them do include aspects of that. But whereas love stories are often sad, each of the selections in A Wink and a Smile has either a "happily-ever-after" ending, or at least a strong suggestion that this is where the characters are heading.

That doesn't mean these tales all sound the same; to the contrary, we've found quite a diverse collection of romances. Yes, there are some traditional romances, and there's a healthy handful of budding romances, but you will also find a story set in the future, and a couple of fantasy tales.

You will find stories of pastries, and candles, of young lovers and old. You will meet several matchmakers and you'll see couples reconcile, and there are even a few stories that will make you laugh.

As always, each story in the Read on the Run series of anthologies is short, to suit your busy lifestyle.
